Note 1. The maximum junction temperature of the NTE1549 is 100°C. Devices must be derated for
operation at elevated temperatures. Junction to ambient thermal resistance is 120°C/W.
Note 2. Pin 5 input current must be limited to ±3mA. The addition of a 39k resistor in series with Pin5
allows ±100V signals without damage.

Note 3. Unless otherwise stated, all specifications apply with the following conditions:
3VDC ≤ V+ ≤ 20VDC; –0.015V ≤ VRLO ≤ 12VDC; TA = +25°C, IL(REF) = 0.2mA, Pin9 con-
nected to Pin3 bar mode.
3VDC ≤ VLED ≤ V+; VREF, VRHI, VRLO ≤ (V+ –1.5V); For higher power dissipations, pulse
testing is used.
–0.015V ≤ VRHI ≤ 12VDC; 0V ≤ VIN ≤ V+ –1.5V
Note 4. Accuracy is measured referred to +3dB = +3dB = +10.000VDC at Pin5, with +10.000VDC at
Pin6, and 0.000 VDC at Pin4. At lower full–scale voltages, buffer and comparator offset volt-
age may add significant error.
